[PSUBS-MAILIST] FW: Escape with Steinke Hoods.

Thu Jan 15 16:21:30 EST 2015

Hi All:

On a free assent from greater than one atmosphere, after you take that last breath and head for the surface you should only exhale. As you pass through each level air will expand in your lungs, it's a strange feeling but it works.
If you don't exhale your lungs could rupture and you die.
